Reverence for life, veneratio vitæ, is the most direct and at the same time the profoundest achievement of my will-to-live.

A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him.

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

Love . . . includes fellowship in suffering, in joy and in effort.

If a man loses his reverence for any part of life, he will lose his reverence for all of life.

The awareness that we are all human beings together has become lost in war and through politics.

The first step in the evolution of ethics is a sense of solidarity with other human beings.
